Lot of work to get them ready but free cherry is free cherry. Nice haul.

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

Agreed.

[@gretchen_needs_a_dog]

That was interesting to watch. I’ll b back to see what you make of I own the road. Impressive cherry rack indeed. I hope pi have as much fun making the bloopers as we do watching them.😂

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

Could be that some of it becomes a letter box.....

[@gretchen_needs_a_dog]

@ 😁😁

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the process!

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

Thanks, friend!

[@Bekim8310]

Thats a nice haul! you can make some cutting boards and maybe even serving trays. You can make good money with that! Start planning and build some great stuff with it!

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

There's a lot of wood there, for sure. Will find some ways to use it.

[@VictorRook]

Built a dollhouse shanty cabin or use it for cool wood-burning signs. Nothing goes to waste.

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

I'll figure out some ways to use it...just dunno what they'll be yet.

[@marvinbeatty]

You need a spin-off channel: Mike's Whacky Wood Rescue.

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

Hoping I don't have to do this very often. haha

[@TomJavery]

That will make some real nice cutting boards.

[@gretchen_needs_a_dog]

That was interesting to watch. I’ll b back to see what you make of I own the road. Impressive cherry rack indeed.

[@timothymallon]

I absolutely agree with you about live edge. I have only seen a couple examples where I would have actually liked something made with live edge, out of the thousands and thousands of table, shelves, etc made with it. I think you have a lot of pen blanks there. Maybe some veneers if you wanna try that. That's what I would do with it.

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

I think I've maybe seen 3 pieces in total where I didn't think they would be better if the edges were cut off. haha

[@anthonyfraser9757]

WHAOOOOOOOO twisted sister, as a small sawyer Its a crime to not stack and dry properly, Good on you for taking on the challenge of recovering as much as possible. All in all I say this is good content and thanks for showing everyone you can get something out of nothing.

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

Thanks, friend. I'll use as much of it as I can, for sure.

[@DrCRAZYde]

Good enough for table legs or something like that.

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

Coffee tables, maybe. Only a few of them ended up long enough for a table you'd sit at. But yeah, lots of usable pieces that'll find their way into projects eventually.

[@RightHandShot]

With a lot of work you will get some usable wood. But free is free, can't complain.

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

Agreed. Will probably just chip away at it for small things where I can work around the cracks rather than try to make a bigger project out of it. We'll see.

[@unpersonableme1805]

Well i mean I think this guy showed you can complain quite a bit! xD

[@jameshall5784]

I hope that you'll use it!!! It would sad if you didn't!!!

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

It'll get used....just not sure for what. Probably just small things where I can keep cutting around the cracks. Just chip away at it rather than try to come up with a project that needs a bunch of it at once.

[@adventuresintoyscale3233]

Is it possible to steam twisted wood like you had and let it dry flat to straighten it, or would it naturally try and twist back?

[@paulwaldrop]

A little bit twisted, with cracks and stuff.....Sounds like they found the appropriate place. :D

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

Agreed.

[@chrishaywood5388]

I'll aggravate the fine woodworking crowd. Add some of that cherry wood to your BBQ, get some proper sweet smoke flavour onto them pork-m-chops next time.

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

@@chrishaywood5388 Definitely where all those strips of live edge are going! And probably a bunch more when I try to work with it for a project and there are too many cracks to work around.

[@davepowell3293]

Rolling pin blanks

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

Yeah...could probably work around some of the cracks and get a few rolling pins out of a few of them. Good idea if another project doesn't come up for a bunch of it before the next market prep session.

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Premium pre-released internal tension cherry. Very unlikely it will twist on you down the road. Probably. Maybe. It might make great hot wheels spiral tracks.

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

More likely it'll become a crap ton of small things like spatulas, rolling pins, boxes, charcuterie boards, etc. where I can work around the cracks. But we'll see.

[@troyqueen9503]

Lots of pen blanks.😂😂

[@WyomingRustic]

Small projects What’s wrong with live edge? I wish I had it

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

Part of me just said that to see if I could get a reaction from the people who like it. Haha. But a much larger part of me thinks that 9 times out of 10 a piece with a live edge would look better if it was cut off. But everyone can like what they like, and my personal preference is not live edge.

[@tpguitars]

Looks like a ton of pen blanks

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

The 4/4 one is probably going to end up that way....just follow the cracks (maybe even just split it along them) and get as many as I can.

[@charlesbeaudelaire9693]

Mair pow'r tae yer elbow big yin, a love it!!

[@JNDCreations]

Almost hit the like button. Then you said live edge is stupid and dumb… finger may have slipped to the dislike button 😂

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

It should have been hit LONG before I said that anyway. But at least I know you watched it that far. Also, why would that matter to you? It's not like you actually make things out of wood anymore. Oooooooooh BURN!

[@JNDCreations]

@ careful mate, someone might think you’re jealous of the plastic printing machine and the fancy lights that burn stuff 😂😂

[@darodes]

I share the sentiment with live edge garbage lol

[@WoodenThingsAndStuff]

Hahaha. I've just never been a fan. I feel like every piece I see that has a live edge I'd like better if it didn't. But everyone can like what they like....
